Trouble Maker Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 So I have an OLD computer. I got a 22" LCD for Christmas and for shits and giggles I would like to see if this thing will play DVD's. I do have a DVD player that I just got for reading DVD-rom's, but obviously it will read DVD video's too. I am just looking for the least processor/memory intensive DVD's. System is something like P3 ~700mhz, 256mb of ram, 64mp (IIRC) PCI Video card w/DVI (currently connected to monitor). So I'm fully expecting this to not work, but I would like to try it. I will probably get something down the road, but it's a little hard to justify when 99% of what I would ever do is browse the internet/listen to music, so I'm looking not looking to upgrade anything on this (I'm sure this would work with hardware decoding). If you're answer is "get a new PC", well that's pretty obvious. I'm just wanting to see if this will work for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Player_Classic Thats what I run on all my computers, along with the Combined Community Codec pack. MPC runs great on old machines, and even better on new ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
